At univerisity in the 90s there was a book in the library which featured (as far as I recall) a man in a darkened room with electricity being passed through him sentried on either side by men in white coats (not an electric chair). The caption was "Odyssey of Pain". I have a feeling it was from a LIFE Magazine collection -- it suited their style -- but I was hoping someone might be able to confirm I've not been imagining it all these years.posted by feelinglistless to Media & Arts (5 answers total)

I don't have access to a computer to check this easily, but try looking up Nikola Tesla. I am pretty sure he has done something like this.posted by littlesq at 7:46 AM on February 18, 2012
